Tahajud Love
Chapter 18's
Yulian gave a long look at how sad Khadija felt at the time. However, he also could not pursue Khadijah and asked him to stay close to him. Even asking Khadijah to stay in his house was so impossible for Yulian to do. So Yulian let Khadijah go far away from him without holding him back.
”What happened, Yulian? Why did Khadijah run?”
”Dia .. don't want to be here. Yeah, I'm letting him go. After all, I also have no right to hold it.” Abdullah snorted in silence.
”I know you have no right, and sin will arise if you remain alone in one room. But at least be a little sensitive, Yulian.” Screeched Abdullah.
Abdullah no longer knew what to say and how to do to Julian, as if running out of words to keep reminding Yulian what to do. As for Yulian, he ignored his feelings too much which was a sign of love that caused concern for Khadija.
------
”What if ... Ahtar and Arjuna knew about this? I fear that they will be angry to hear of Khadijah's sudden departure. While they so want the presence of Khadijah.” Yulian fell silent, as if he was thinking about what Abdullah had just said to him.
”Emm ... sign up!”
What an ambiguous answer Yulian made Abdullah feel frustrated. However, loyalty towards the comrade did not make him just walk away and leave Yulian. So did Yulian, he would not have gone anywhere if there was no Abdullah by his side.
”How about we look for it around the hospital? Who knows ... is still there.” Abdullah is still eager to find Khadijah.
”Already, Abdullah! We better just go home, it's almost night.”
Yulian got into the car and Abdullah followed him from behind. As usual, Abdullah sat in the driver's seat, while Yulian sat in the front passenger seat. And after the engine was started, Abdullah did it at a moderate pace. It could even be said to be too slow, making Yulian feel strange with Abdullah's attitude.
”What are you doing, Abdullah? Why are you so slow?”
”I just want to look for Khadijah, the woman you have made to cry it.” Yulian looked at Abdullah sharply.
”Why are you looking for it? I'm not asking you to look for him, Abdullah. Let Him go, after all we have no RIGHT to ask him to stay with us.”
”Don't be stupid to be human, especially as a man, Yulian. Where's Yulian who I've known for three years? Who always have a soft, royal heart, understanding and mutual help of fellow human beings although sometimes not seiman.”
”Have you forgotten yourself? If you instill love towards women?”
”Love for women? I never forget that, Abdullah. But this is different, very different.”
”No. Five types of water that can not be replaced by the child of a mother, Yulian. But you seem to want to replace it.”
Yulian fell silent and tried to digest what Abdullah had said. However, the result was nil, because he did not understand the five types of water that Abdullah referred to and replaced. And that made Abdullah completely lose the sense of patience in him. So Abdullah immediately stepped on the brake pedal and stopped him on the roadside.
”Alright! Listen carefully and I will say it only once.”
”Five types of water from a mother that can not be replaced by her child is none other than amniotic fluid, blood water during childbirth, milk, milk, sweat water while taking care of us and tears when praying for us.”
”But why do you want to replace all five types of water? Are you able to make yourself a mother for the rest of your life in taking care of Hafizha?”
The car was carried out at high speed by Yulian. Now changed, the position of a driver's seat occupied by Yulian. His enthusiasm and guilt seemed so high that he wanted to drive his own car in search of Khadijah.
”Yulian, careful! Do you want us to die now?”
”Don't be stupid, Abdullah! Death is only God capable of doing it.”
”Then? Why are you driving like this?”
”Kan, you yourself told me to look for Khadija. While we have already lost track of it, it is impossible if I drive the car at a moderate speed, Abdullah.” Abdullah breathed back.
Yulian continued to explore the streets of the city that had begun to be quiet at night. And when he was about to enter the courtyard of a mosque to want to do Islamic prayers' he accidentally saw a woman who was almost similar to Khadijah. Wearing a long and wide black dress with a syar'i hijab and a matching colored veil.
”Khadija!”
Yulian called the woman's plan by the name of Khadijah. Aka however, in reality the woman was not Khadija, but a woman who only wore the same clothes.
”Sorry, you wrong people.” The woman left while lowering her eyes.
And it made Yulian find it hard to find Khadijah's whereabouts. When worry and guilt have melted into one, Yulian chooses to complain about it all in her evening contest.
” O Allah, if You allow me to meet Khadijah, then make my search easy on him.”
Do'a is so beautiful.
”Abdullah, what if we can't rediscover Khadijah's existence? Could it be that they will be angry with my attitude?”
”Entaih! Hopefully tonight we can also find the existence of Khadijah.” Yulian.
Back the car was driven at medium speed, then Yulian traced the courtyard which was quite quiet. And when a few minutes still struggling in the streets that are still so quiet, seen the figure of a woman who is being confronted by several men.
Yulian stared intently, making sure absolutely that the one before him was none other than Khadijah. Where in Yulian's view, Khadijah sat down with some thugs in front of him who were about to commit crimes against him. So Yulian valiantly fought the thugs to protect Khadijah when he was in trouble.
”Joss!”
”Plakk!”
”Dammm..."
Several times Yulian threw punches at the thug, and somehow Yulian was also hit by the thug. However, not long after that thug can be crippled also by Yulian. After that, the thugs have been arrested and reported to the authorities.
”Yulian, you better just samperin Khadijah. Seems ... He was too shocked when the thug attacked him, even his body was so trembling.” Yulian nodded slowly, confirming Abdullah's request.
Some cops came and arrested the thug. While Yulian, he tried to calm Khadijah who was still feeling afraid.
